Nice pics Doug! Thanks for sharing, nice to see pics of some of those species
again, esp. the butterflies and birds. And neat moths too! I saw a damselfly
among your pics; if you want that id'ed I would suggest sending it to Dennis
Paulson. I can send you his email if you want, he's a very nice guy and a great
birder too.
Keep sending pics if you take more!
Kyle

Thanks Paul. Yes, your right. Click on picture again and look at comments

And the mystery bird is a Black Catbird with some sort of vegetation stuck to
it which sure stumped everyone for a while!

Are you sure your Cuckoo isn't a Squirrel cuckoo ? Also your mystery bird kind
of looks like a Jay to me. Maybe young , Black-throated ? I'm not familiar with
the bird or it's habitat. Paul
